Good job, Jim. My sources at a regional paper say that they’ve just announced a town hall at 2 p.m. today. Guess we’ll find out more then.

First they dumb down what formerly was an excellent group of newspapers through the ’90s, but in this century have pandered to the lowest denominator. They they fired and laid off. Then they cut benefits, increase health insurance costs, sold their presses, created truly the dumbest most ill-considered website designs in the western hemisphere, began lying about readership, using the old TV dodge in this case page view and unique hits .. this was inevitable. It explains why their web presence was so anemic: they had no intention of actually using it. Bad for the employees, maybe, many of whom will be former based on the Halifax Mitt Romney acquisition model. Many of those people are just short of qualifying for a Times Co. pension.
